SCLEROCORNEASclerocornea is a
primary anomaly in which scleralization of the peripheral part of cornea, or of the entire tissue, occurs.
A type of mesodermal dysgenesis
Non progressive, usually bilateral, asymmetric
![Page 7: My Clouding Cornea](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9b2e1760da3da068bd053/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SCLEROCORNEA continued…ISOLATED PERIPHERAL
SCLEROCORNEA:Abrupt change from scleral-like tissue to clear cornea without any other ocular abnormalities.
![Page 8: My Clouding Cornea](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9b2e1760da3da068bd053/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SCLEROCORNEA continued…SCLEROCORNEA PLANA:
Flat cornea with high hyperopia. Pseudoptosis can be seen because the flat cornea poorly supports the upper lid.
SCLEROCORNEA ASSOCIATED WITH ANTERIOR CHAMBER CLEAVAGE ANOMALIES

BIRTH TRAUMA continued…MANAGEMENT : 1st choice of treatment is RGP contact lens
and patchingRefraction for glasses or contact lens should
be performed as soon as possible > prevents amblyopia secondary to severe astigmatism
Patching is necessary to treat amblyopiaLater in life, if endothelium decompensates,
penetrating keratoplasty to restore vision

BIRTH TRAUMA continued…MANAGEMENT AT A LATER AGE:Sub-Bowman keratomileusis for high
cylindrical error secondary to birth trauma-related Descemet’s scars appears to have a stable, safe and effective follow-up over 1 year. However, longer follow-up and more cases are required to conclusively predict the usefulness of this procedure.*

ULCER – BACTERIAL continuedIn developing countries the prevalence of
gonorrhoea in pregnant women is between 3% and 15%. The rate of transmission from mother to newborn is between 30% and 50%.*
Prophylaxis by instillation immediately after birth of either 1% silver nitrate eye drops or 1% tetracycline eye ointment is very effective. This reduces the GCON incidence by 80% to 95%* *M. Laga, A. Meheus, and P. Piot. Epidemiology and

PETER’S ANOMALYMost common congenital opacity requiring
penetrating keratoplastyIt is a congenital disorder characterised by
central corneal opacity with corresponding defects in posterior stroma, Descemet’s membrane and endothelium.
![Page 47: My Clouding Cornea](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9b2e1760da3da068bd053/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
PETER’S ANOMALY continued..Peripheral cornea is
relatively clear.Synechiae extend from iris
collarette to the edge of he posterior corneal defect.
Associated with lenticular abnormalities like cataract, corneolenticular adhesions.
![Page 48: My Clouding Cornea](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9b2e1760da3da068bd053/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
PETER’S ANOMALY ClassificationType I Corneal Opacity + Iridocorneal Adhesions
Type II Corneal Opacity + Iridocorneal Adhesions + Lens
abnormalityUnilateral involvement Frequently bilateralCentral opacity bordered by iris strands that cross the AC from iris collarette
Dense opacity with lens directly adherent to posterior corneal surface
Peripheral cornea usually clearLens usually clear May be clear or cataractousGood visual acuity potentialSystemic abnormalities uncommon
Severe ocular and systemic malformations
![Page 49: My Clouding Cornea](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9b2e1760da3da068bd053/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
PETER’S ANOMALY continued..CAUSES : Incomplete central migration of the neural
crest cellsTeratogenic exposures, like intrauterine
infection, and maternal alcoholism
Incomplete development of angle is common, leading to glaucoma.
![Page 50: My Clouding Cornea](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9b2e1760da3da068bd053/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
PETER’S ANOMALY continued..MANAGEMENT : If the anomaly is bilateral and visually
disturbing, corneal transplantation is often required.
Additional surgical procedures including lensectomy, vitrectomy, total iridectomy, regrafting, glaucoma surgery are required. But they worsen the prognosis.
Hence if peripheral cornea is clear, and there is no cataract, a peripheral iridectomy can be done to create a new visual axis.
![Page 51: My Clouding Cornea](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9b2e1760da3da068bd053/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
POSTERIOR KERATOCONUSVery uncommonLocal conical internal
protrusion of posterior corneal curvature with concomitant stromal thinning and haze.
Non progressive disorder. Cause unclear.
Vision is usually acceptable; keratoplasty is rarely indicated.
![Page 52: My Clouding Cornea](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9b2e1760da3da068bd053/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
CONGENITAL ANTERIOR STAPHYLOMA
Protuberant congenital corneal opacity.Secondary epithelial metaplasia into
keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium occurs.
Cause : Probably secondary to an intrauterine infection or related to developmental abnormality such as Peter’s anomaly.
MANAGEMENT : Visual prognosis is poor. Enucleation or Evisceration
may be considered for cosmesis.
![Page 53: My Clouding Cornea](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9b2e1760da3da068bd053/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
CONGENITAL HEREDITARY ENDOTHELIAL DYSTROPHY
Rare disease with AD or AR inheritance.AD CHED mapped to pericentromeric
region of chr20.AR CHED also mapped to same gene but
different locus.AD form does not cause congenital corneal
opacification. AR form generally presents as bilateral
corneal clouding at birth
![Page 54: My Clouding Cornea](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9b2e1760da3da068bd053/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
CHED continued… PATHOGENESIS :
Primary dysfunction and degeneration of endothelium
Increased permeability
Diffuse corneal oedema and clouding
Abnormal and accelerated Descemet’s secretion
Thickening of DM
![Page 55: My Clouding Cornea](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9b2e1760da3da068bd053/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
CHED continued…DIAGNOSIS : Differentiating CHED from congenital
glaucoma is difficult because measurement of IOP may give unreliable results in presence of stromal oedema.
It is important to distinguish between CHED and PPMD because the oedema in PPMD may show clearing so that PK may not be needed.
MANAGEMENT : Penetrating keratoplasty to avoid
amblyopia.
![Page 56: My Clouding Cornea](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f9b2e1760da3da068bd053/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
POSTERIOR POLYMORPHOUS DYSTROPHY
Similar to CHED with AD inheritance.
Cause- Primary dysfunction of corneal endothelium.

PPMD continued…Epithelialization of
endothelial cells. Features range from mild
endothelial defects to severe stromal and epithelial oedema.
MANAGEMENT : PK if cornea does not clear
spontaneously.

CONGENITAL HEREDITARY STROMAL DYSTROPHY
Central, bilateral and symmetric
Cause : Corneal lamellar irregularities in the anterior stroma
Stationary from birth
MANAGEMENT : PK if opacification is
severe

DERMOIDDermoids are solid benign congenital tumors
that frequently arise at the inferotemporal corneoscleral junction.
Classified as choristomas because they contain cellular elements not normally present in that location.

DERMOIDMANAGEMENT : Correction of astigmatism with spectaclesPatching to treat amblyopiaSURGERY : Complete excision flush with corneal surface,
with lamellar graftIf central cornea is involved, penetrating and
lamellar keratoplasty are vision restoring procedures.

PK for CONGENITAL CORNEAL OPACITIES :
OUTCOME OF SURGERY IN INFANTS :First graft survival at 12 months was 61% Peter's anomaly, lensectomy, and repeat
penetrating keratoplasty were factors most highly associated with poor graft survival and a low final visual acuity.*

PK for CONGENITAL CORNEAL OPACITIES :
OUTCOME OF SURGERY IN INFANTS :Surgery must be performed early to avoid
amblyopia. Prompt postoperative optical rehabilitation, combined with occlusion therapy when appropriate, is an important determinant of success.*

CHALLENGES IN MANAGEMENTRecurrent examination, suture removal is
difficult in childrenRisk of anaesthesia for repeated surgeriesStimulus deprivation amblyopiaGlaucoma
TAKE HOME MESSAGEThe prognosis is less than optimum.
Parents need to be counselled properly to avoid psychological impact.
